8th, sometimes 9th or 10th...
In Aikikai the highest grade is 8th dan, according to the rules - but those rules also say that still, in some special cases, 9th and 10th dan can be awarded...
Again in Aikikai, every dan grade above 4 dan is given by recommendation, involving no testing. There are minimum requirements of years of training between the grades: 5 years from 4 dan to 5 dan 6 years from 5 dan to 6 dan 12 years from 6 dan to 7 dan 15 years from 7 dan to 8 dan. To my knowledge there are no minimum requirements for 9 and 10 dan. Aikikai Hombu dojo decides about all recommendations. |
Re: Dan
I had the impression that you had to be a shinto priest at 8th dan to get 9th dan.
Isn't there something about dying getting you awarded 10 dans? However unlikely, in terms of what is "possible" I would say you can get yourself adopted by the Ueshiba family and you can one day become infinite dan. :) Rob |
